For people already registered – do they go back to the E. Humphrey Walcott Building? Do they have to do anything online?

Will benefits be automatically mailed?

At present, all benefit cheques are being mailed. However, some claimants receive their short-term benefits (e.g. sickness) via bank and credit union accounts.

Claimants of NIS benefits with bank or credit union accounts (Barbados Public Workers’ Co-operative Credit Union Ltd, City of Bridgetown Co-operative Credit Union Ltd, Barbados Workers Union Co-operative Credit Union Ltd.) can request the NIS Direct Deposit Form from the Office, complete and submit it, along with the header of the bank statement.
